A small drop in the price of gasoline in Nova Scotia this morning

The Nova Scotia Energy Board used its weekly adjustment at midnight to lower the price of regular self-serve gasoline by 3.6 cents, bringing the new minimum price to 140.1 cents per litre.

The same, however, cannot be said for diesel. The price of diesel fuel increased by 1.8 cents, reaching 153.4 cents per litre.

At this time last year, we were paying 177.0 cents per litre for gasoline and 181.0 cents per litre for diesel.
